The EBRC
The Roslin Institute will be part of a larger consortium, embracing the Animals Sciences researchers of the Scottish Agricultural College (who will co-occupy the new building) and the nearby Moredun Research Institute.
The consortium is known as the Easter Bush Research Consortium (EBRC). The Animal Sciences partnerships within EBRC, and integration with clinical practice and education in RDSVS, provide major opportunities for application and exploitation of the research of The Roslin Institute.
The purpose of the Easter Bush Research Consortium is:
- To carry out research together in genuine collaborations, including joint funding proposals.
- To reduce the cost of doing research by promoting efficient use of shared infrastructure.
- To promote animal sciences research, and the interests of the partners in securing funding for research, infrastructure and sustainability.
- To generate internal seed funds for shared projects.
- To work together within the broader Scottish Animal Sciences Network.
